BATHROOM UNIT.

Application filed April 10, 1926. Serial No. 101,105.

My invention relates to a combination bath-room unit, simple in construction and easily installed at either the righ't-hand'or left-hand side of the bath-room.

;, The invention consists of a combination toilet, basin and tub, or equivalent, symmetrical longitudinally and connected for mutual counterbalance. requiring but three pipe connections to the main pipe lines.

lu The basin frame is-arranged between and supports the toilet and tub or equivalent, equilibrating the loads of the latter, and the -three are preferably symmetrical with .a

longitudinal axis common to all three of 1.) them. Y

[The combination unit. is particularly adapted for installation by unskilled labor,

in rural localities Referring to the drawings in which like 20 parts are similarly designated Figure 1 is aplan view. Fig. a side elevation.

Fig an end elevation. Fig.4 is a section of the soil pipe'connection,and v Fig. 5 i s a modification.

The combination unit comprises a basin madecntirely of the nsualenamelled iron, or ,the frame 1 and legs 2 may be madeas one piece .-with a porcelain basin bowl 3 separately attached, as may be desired.

The basin has four legs 2 that stand firmly on the floor, as this is the central main load supporting member of the unit; and the 85 basin is provided, as usual. with faucets 4, 5. arranged at the top of'riser pipes 6 and 7. for hot and cold water.

Bolted to the basin frame is acantilever toilet bowl 8', the oval seat 9 of which. has 4 its major diameter at right angles to the major diameter of the basin bowl; The toilet bowl connects with a soil pipe section 10 that is connected to the'soil pipe trait opp (if the nd the flush.

' goose-neck.

tank can be connected to and placed at the side of the unit opposite to that shown. A pipe li' connects the tank to the cold water pipe 7 under the basin bowl.

On the opposite side of the basin frame 1 is a bath tub 18., whose rim 19 is cutaway or omitted at" its straight transverse end a to litwith the basin frame 1 so that this'straight end wall of the tub may lie against the basin frame for the purpose of enabling hooks 2G to hook in the side of the basin frame 1. i Faucet connections 21 and 22 from the water pipes 4 and 5 pass through the basin frame and tub end a and connect to a faucet or faucets 23. The tub is therefore supported at one end by the books and the basin frame 1, effectually counterbalancing any load of and on the bowl 8. The tub is provided with an overflow pipe thatconnects to the drain pipe 25, terminating in a trap 26. which trap is connected to the soil pipe sectionlOby a short pipe 27. The basin drain pipe 28 connects to this pipe 27 and is provided with the usual The trap 26 rests on the floor, and the only connection through the floor at the floor level will be the joint at 12, which comprises,- (Fig. 4,) .a. brass nipple 29 threaded to the end of-the enamelled soil'pipe section 10. This nipple'has a. sliding fit inside a short section 28 whose lower end is calked into the top ofthe soil pipe column 11, and its tub orsimilar device, so that the combina tion may be positioned with either side against a bath room wall, with the tubor equivalent counter-balancing the toilet bowl. In Fig. '5, in lieu of a tub .18, I have shown a shower pool 30. hooked to the basin frame 1 by books '20-, the hot and cold 'water pipes G and 7 having transverse branches at 31 containing the shower valves 32 that. mntrol llu the water to the ipe 33 terminating in the rose-head 34: which is surrounded by the customary curtain sn ort 35.

0f course it w1l be understood that in lieu of hooks 20, bolts or other fastening means may be used for connecting the tub, pool or the likes to the basin frame 1, but IOOkS are more simple and more easily used.

The tub need have but two legs, at the end furthest from the basin frame, which latter takes the load through the hooks or equivalent, that would be taken by the other two legs were they present, and this load eounterbalances any tipping action from the toilet bowl.
